The Microbial Universe Visitors step into an eerie environment populated by fantastic creatures: Three- dimensional holographic- like microbes, giant robot microbes, microbes floating in space. They wander among light microscopes, electron micrographs, and informative panels– a new and fantastic world, like nothing they have experienced before. These are fantastic creatures, stranger than science-fiction. They resemble hot air balloons, monsters with protruding eyes and whiplash tails, jelly fish-like creatures, strings of beads, spiral-shaped flailing worms, 20-sided soccer balls with tiny trees sprouting from their surface.
